Klos’ first solo museum show is slated to open in February, 2022 at the Wellin Museum in Clinton, New York. Klos’ works have been featured in publications such as the New York Times, and he’s been awarded artist residences at Skowhegan, The Vermont Studio Center, and Bemis. He is the recipient of a Joan Mitchell Fellowship and a NYFA Grant. Klos Was born and raised on the South-Side of Chicago. He now works and resides in New York City, with studios in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
